2d Mini - Juggernaut Tanks!

2d Mini - Juggernaut Tanks!

http://www.30lives.com/gaorg/2D_029_battleship_splash.jpg

Hey everyone! Remember me? I used to run these 2d minis until I vanished/got-engaged. Now I'm back and ready to rock and roll!

And what's more rock and roll than tanks? How about even BIGGER TANKS? Like, super-sized, UBER, MONSTROUS, EPIC tanks! JUGGERNAUT TANKS!

The lowdown:
The design team for a new action game calls you up asking for a design for their "JUGGERNAUT" class tank.

This tank was built with the singular idea that 'bigger is better'. Regular tanks look like babies to this big daddy. Capable of flattening cities, armies, heck, even whole countrysides, this tank is supposed to stand out as a big boss of all tanks. Here's what they asked you for:

-It should be big. It should look like it took an army to build and takes an army to run!
-It also should be land-based.
-It also should look like it can withstand a lot of abuse, and dish out a lot in return.

All the other specs of the design are up to you though--treads or hover technology? Lasers or howitzers? Iron or ...uh...something else? Show us your most badass JUGGERNAUT TANK!

Soft Deadline: Wednesday night (11:59pm Eastern Time) August 4th, 2010

GOODLUCK!

[ACap]

I am really like this mini. I am in.:)

[Ksan]

Tanks! There is a definite need of vehicles! I will try my best.

[grimdc13]

Sounds fun but Ill be busy with another project and a job fair.

[Vailias]

arr! I had the perfect concept for this competition, then I realized it say 2d.

ok back to the drawing board. I dig me some juggernaut tanks.

[Beartastic]

I'm the same, I got super pumped thinking this was 3d.

Great concept Joe. There's some super sweet references on Dark Roasted Blend here (http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2007/03/strange-tanks.html) and here (http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2007/11/strange-tanks-part-2.html).

[Melrick]

lol, great concept

[Kennymcb]

What an epic idea. I imagine the tracks would be as wide as a major highway. Awesome.

[karart]

nice 2D mini , but , i should make an illustration or a model sheet ?

[blankslatejoe]

That's up to you Karart!

[Bloodeye]

Oh I never get to draw vehicles.

This is gonna be fun.

[angry_ookami]

I want in :)

[MattBlack]

Thinking of something like this - like an armoured building. Hope I have time to finishhttp://i549.photobucket.com/albums/ii367/mcarless/juggernaut.jpg

[3d_er]

Looks like a great comp ahead! Will give it a try.

MattBlack, if you are going to make a big building like the ref you showed, I think much smaller wheels would make the main structure look bigger. Emphasis on "much" smaller. Maybe tiny wheels.

[messioddt]

This is one that I better "naut" forget to do!!! I'm in.

[spearman247]

Sounds awesome! I'm in.

[BrendanBax]

Thinking of something like this - like an armoured building. Hope I have time to finishhttp://i549.photobucket.com/albums/ii367/mcarless/juggernaut.jpg

Oh man, I saw the tick marks on the wheels in the center of the image and thought "Is he gonna put guns on the wheels?"... then I thought about it, and yea, You should put guns on your wheels :)

[BrendanBax]

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj254/my13utt/JuggernautTank.jpg

Here's my sketch. We were talking about the old Rampage game in class the other day, and after reading this challenge all I could think of was giant gorilla tank with jetpacks that move his huge arms. I had a different version with tank treads for rear feet. Loooootttssss more rendering and details to add. What a fun challenge!

[MattBlack]

Nice suggestion BB! and a cool idea!

[D3struct-o-Bot]

I'm interested.

Is it allowed to use a 3D basemesh for 2D paintover a la Massive Black concepting process?

[Sinok426]

nice mini comp! lets try vehicles' design
Some Juggernaut silhouettes :
http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/1951/jugger1.jpg

i agree with D3struct-o-Bot, using a 3D basemesh would be easier.

[WarNoodle]

nice sinok!!! here is a funny gi joe commercial of a large battle tank/station

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TfJN2GqZ0s

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b116/JonathanFawcett/GameArtisans/rollingthunder_leftfront_ext_iso-30.jpg

I remember my friend had a cobra commander one that was huge! at least it was when i was like 6 it seemed huge. oooh the good old days when toys were made in ridiculous scale in size...

[Ksan]

Sinok426-Tha bottom left one is OOOOOoooosome.

[blankslatejoe]

I'm interested.

Is it allowed to use a 3D basemesh for 2D paintover a la Massive Black concepting process?

Sure! That's a valid way to get final perspective correct in particular.

[BrendanBax]

Sinok426-Tha bottom left one is OOOOOoooosome.

What if you combine the train-like feel of the bottom left but had an "engine" like the top right elevated over the rest of the vehicle... and maybe it rides on tracks over the cars and picks up different ammo types for the massive guns? Just throwing out ideas of what those shapes could actually be.

[Kodiak]

I'm a big fan of the idea of something like a cross between the NASA launch crawler, a massive steam shovel and lots of guns, so your second from the bottom on the left looks awesome to me, Sinok.

[karart]

my concept, first the top :

http://nsa15.casimages.com/img/2010/07/16/100716034600641858.png (http://www.casimages.com)

so his displacement is like a basic tank but it can do lateral displacement.

[Arsenal]

Quite similar animation to the siege tank from starcraft (http://us.starcraft2.com/features/terran/siegetank.xml) karart.

[karart]

really ? i have never played starcraft . But i've probably keeped something like this in my head.

[Davek]

I really shouldn't start this when I have so much other works to do.
But I'm an idiot so I start-

[David79]

davek hope to see that finished even if u have a lot of work to do :P nice entry mate!

mine
http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/2329/juggernauttankconcept.jpg
a massive tank like a naval ship perapse !

[Rain]

David79 - woW, now that is what I call a juggernaut! Half tank, half battleship. The rotating guns on top, like those found on a battleship, was a great addition.

Davek, I really like the concept. You might loose a bit of its impressiveness since it's front view. Not sure how you'll compensate for that. Hope it works out.

[BrendanBax]

Davek - really cool looking. I like the center ring. Reminds me of Iron Man or something. Like the ultimate War Machine!

David79 - hmm... needs more cowbell! Seriously tho, pretty beastly and detailed mock up. Then only that comes to mind is what makes it really stand out? Like...

Hey did you see that awesome giant tank drawing?
Yea... which one?
You know the one with the...

Its impressive all the same and I know this is early... so I'm really excited to see how a lot of these entries come out.

[angry_ookami]

Made some sketches, here is my first WIP.

[BrendanBax]

-angry_ookami
Yes. YES. Y - E - S!

I gotta step up my original comp... not nearly as impressive as some of these. Same model, different presentation.

Dose this have to be a character sheet or just a fashionable illustration?

[Slava Gedich]

:) JUGA JUGA jumpa Tank!

[Slava Gedich]

Update )

[angry_ookami]

@Brendanbax ^____^
I am new to this but I believe a single illustration is ok.. I am doing just one illustration.

Ok, now I tried to fix the perspective, took a while but maybe not so much obvious change.
Tried also to add minor details and the color scheme in no more than 10 miutes..
I think later I will re-draw using pencil, maybe I can add details faster and more precise.
Anyway, here is my WIP for today ^__^ (I come from a comics background and I notice the tank is looking cartoonish but I will try to do something about that later on)
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn56/angry_ookami/GameArtisan/AngryJuggernaut.jpg

[Sinok426]

Davek >this sketch is really nice, i hope you will finish it
David79 > this is a winning entry!
angry_ookami > nice design and colors, i like the cartoonish look

another sketch :

[angry_ookami]

Sinok426... @_____@ Oh god!! You released the Kraken!! ehh I mean your Juggernaut :D
It looks like it is dashing and flattening the obstacles.. great brush work.. beautiful and implies the motion.

[DV8]

this should be a good one, and a nice change.

[Mitch-king]

hi guys :) long time no see. thumbnails.

[BrendanBax]

Wow some of those thumbnails are really unique. Pretty impressive :)

[GoldenZero]

Angry_Ookami: :eek: GREAT! :eek:
Keep going :thumb:

[Kodiak]

I've decided I'd give this a go. Here's a rough concept for a juggernaught that also serves as a mobile airbase.

EDIT: Need some help, for some reason I can't get the image to display in the forum, all I'm getting are links to the image. Can anyone give me a tip as to how to make this work? Thanks!

[blankslatejoe]

Hm.... are you trying to attach the image or just hotlink it?
if hotlinking, use the little yellow-mountain icon to properly tag the image.

[allentotingski]

will try to join!

[Torch]

Sinok nice work so far man, looks epic!

[Kodiak]

I'm trying to attach the image. For some reason, the site I usually hotlink images to isn't displaying my image properly.

[ACap]

Hello, everybody. At last I found time to post and show my progress.
Mitch-king - Very interesting concepts. I like top right version. Waiting for progress.
Sinok426 - Very strong. Hope, there will be the day, when I will be able to create so alive art.
angry_ookami - I like your point of view. Good decision to make frontal cabine in feral style. It looks great.
Slava Gedich - Wonderful. Sudden death from the sky. But I would add some more guns, to make him more agressive.
David79 - it is just beautiful. Can not wait to see your progress.
Davek - another great concept. That guy looks very strong.
karart - Do not stop, and result will come!
MattBlack - good begining. More guns, more details.

And here some of my first pencil sketches.

[blankslatejoe]

I'm trying to attach the image. For some reason, the site I usually hotlink images to isn't displaying my image properly.

Hm...weird.maybe they have some clever way to block remote hotlinking. I guess you could just post a link for now.

If you want to attach the image directly, try making it a little smaller, dimensions wise and filesize wise--the attachment manager might be barking about the size of it or something.

[ROBOTTANK]

fairly new to digital art and this website. thought this mini challenge sounded too awesome to past up. i have a few concepts, here's one..

[ArtAG]

[Melrick]

David79, sorry to hear you have to drop out that looks like a great tank

[Davek]

I'm sorry about that David. I'm sure you will get back to it when you can. It's looking sweet already!
Some amazing work here folks. I will have to come back and start making comments.
For now, I would like to say thank you and good luck all!

Here is my quick update. It's barely half an hour of work but since I don't think I will be able to work on it for good three days, here it is!

[D3struct-o-Bot]

Here's my rough sketch. Will post a 3D base next.

http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/3130/schwartz.jpg

[Sinok426]

angry_ookami, Torch> Thanks guys!
Mitch-king > wow, the two tanks in the top right are great
ACap > thanks a lot! your sketches are really creative, good ideas' design
ROBOTTANK > Great first post!
ArtAG >Beautiful shapes!
David > nice 3D base! it's so sad you can't finish it...

Some photo-texturing/painting/detailling but i still need to define more the tank's design, it needs to be more agressive :
http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/7719/jugger3sinok426.jpg

[Marbi]

Greats concepts!
Sinok, I like your tank. It remember me an Ohm, like in Nausicaa ;)

[Norvik]

The old rusty tank, unknown war. It is possible?

[DV8]

Here's a quick block out sketch, that black spec in the lower right- thats the scale figure :)

[Ksan]

I am really digging some of these tanks that are coming out with unexpected color and designs. Some of the more traditional ones are looking pretty slick as well. More later, great work everyone.

[ACap]

Hello, everybody.
ROBOTTANK - Good begining. I would ass some machine guns or flamethrowers to annihilate enemy infantry.
ArtAG - It looks very strong. Waiting for your progress.
David79 - Thank you. It is sad you will not be able to finish. Anyway, waiting for you in forecoming challenges.
Sinok426 - Beautiful. Love your colors.
Norvik - Looks promising. You can to add some peoples around. War scene or repair team work, if you want, of course.
DV8 - It definitely need more guns.

And now my own angry juggernaut. Hope, you will like it:)

[Slava Gedich]

2 ACap May be,May be 8) Thanks for the advice ;)

[labais]

Awesome tank designs so far!! Here's my current contribution. O ,bleep, it's really big!

[Wikz]

Loving the work so much so far that you have inspired me to give it a go. Here is my progress for my Hercules tank.(inspired by the Hercules beetle) I need to make it feel more military rather than cloverfield. Ideas are welcome.
Labais Nice scene and yes it is big. but I think mine is bigger lol. I like the soldiers panic.
Slava GedichCool idea, something to show scale could be usefull.A pilot/pilots maybe.
AcapCool Perspective, your tank is looking extremely lethal and medieval . Details are awesome.
DV8Nice base to work from looking forward to seeing where you go with this.
NorvikI like the mobile fortress look. nice start.

[Sinok426]

Marbi> nice reference, i'm fan of nausicaa!
Norvik > i really like the colors' variations

ACap >i can't wait to see your final pic, it looks promising
Slava Gedich >good work on colors/texturing

[ACap]

Sinok426 - Thanks. Beautiful work. Very interesting colours. Good luck!:)
Wikz - Thank you. I Like your camera view. Tank design looks good. Looking forward to see more.:)
Slava Gedich - Looks good. Will wait for your progress.:)

I am added some more colours. It still looks boring. Tomorrow I will try to add some more life.

[Mitch-king]

[Norvik]

Ooooh! Here so many good big tanks! Similar I do not have chances. But...
ACap, Thanks . But I have decided to make the rusted destroyed tank forgotten for a long time))
Wikz, Thanks :) I will try to finish that the beginnings
Sinok426, Unexpectedly) I always had problems with colour transfer. Thanks big))

hello ,here is my version,still a lot of things to be done,Im still not sure if i will continue this way or not,anyway great work everyone,its very inspiring to see all the great version you came out with.
comments and crits are more than welcome!!;)

[YamSoup]

http://www.gameartisans.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=31665&stc=1&d=1280357864

Very quick stretch just as a rough concept at present. Hoping to do a much better image this weekend.

I decided to go huge and not very far in the future.
The tanks official name is: Omega 1.
Mainly used as a mobile fortress with proven resistance to even a direct nuclear strike (not including personnel) this tank can flatten city's into submission its main cannon only having been fired once. Holding an aircraft carrier style airport 30 tanks/personnel carriers and 2000 men (both soldiers and engineers) and costing millions to move and operate this tank contains its own steel works operational while the tank is stationary to make its own repairs, Plus farming land for a degree of self sustainability,
Despite its enormous cost this tank has kept an unprecedented peace in the middle of a worn torn Europe with the mobilization of the tank usually resulting in surrender before arrival.

[Melrick]

Hey guys would like to join in, hope I have the time. Here is my base model

[redpandafire]

Okay seriously some of this stuff is getting jaw dropping. Cut it out guys. ;)

[labais]

:)

Took a different angle. I thought my previous version, was way too massive, yet not massive enough when comparing to some other entries. So I starting over.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hbN1zrF8qQc/TFFJxC3d79I/AAAAAAAAAb0/6_y34NWrfD8/s1600/juggernauttank2.jpg

[W1r3d]

Wow! some awsome entries here. H yeah! :thumb:

Sinok426 - Really liking that uh tank/mole :)

Labias - Both your images has a really nice depth. Waiting in anticipation for your next one.

I've been on vacation for like 3 weeks now so i've not been drawing anything. However i'll see how far i come. Here is a thumb to get me rolling. Nothing is set in stone i just wanted the tank from a side view. Going for another perspective.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v165/w1r3d/Thumb01.jpg

[blankslatejoe]

There are some sweet tanks in here guys!

Just so you know, we're down to the last week! Goodluck!

[Melrick]

Hey guys here is my w.i.p.

[Melrick]

improved it a bit today, wanted to post before my son woke up and I can hear him moving around upstairs...

[angry_ookami]

Hello again people!! It was a hard week, could only check/work today :cry:

ACap Thanks for the "Feral" comment, actually after reading ur note I started to think I wanna make the tank less "hi-tech" more "Brutal" :D , I like your designs, pencils always ROCK!! I am seeing the progress you r making but will u stick to the subtle color scheme or add more color variations later?
David79 Your design was very nice.. too bad u won't finish it.. maybe later? yeah and about the blindage.. still thinking to add or not to add.. :S
Davek coming out goood!! Need to see how it will turn out!
Sinok426 .. Now it looks like a native-american/indian Totem/tank! Just like Nausica's Oahm.. Nature's revenge on mankind :D
crrrutch Very balanced mass! looks very brutal to me and I liked the front gate where smaller tanks could be deployed!
Diissar Great tank! But I think it would be better if bigger!
redpandafire .. Jaw dropping it is!!
W1r3d what about the Anvil? Playing transformice lately :P ?
Melrick nice progress through that little time :D waiting to see more progress!


Well.. here is my WIP so far, I am still working on it today.. maybe later this night I will try to finish it! Critics are Welcomed!

[kirilot]

First of Joe, CONGRATS!! :thumb: :cheers: Nice interview too btw, Im stoked about the game.

Man, some baad axxxx stuff in here! Been away from the forums for a while...thought id give this a try. Should have blocked some 3d but i figured it wouldn't hurt to give a go at some perspective.


http://www.kirilot.com/OS/megatank.jpg

[Wikz]

Here is my progress... loving the work out there everyone, some amazing skillz.

MitchKingThe tank is a beast. awesome design I love the workshop.
destruct-o-0botlooking forward to the drawing. I like the aircraft carrier part.
crrruthThe armor is awesome I love the plating. personally I think it is already awesome but it will be cool to see how you improve it.
Diissar another awesome design. The rounded design is cool, good for deflecting hits. looking forward to progress.The turret head is looking a little out with the rounded beginning and triangle tip.
yamsoup nice start.looking forward to seeing the size of this thing.
LabaisI am liking you latest design a lot more. The angle is alot better to for showing the tank design.
Melricknice start, waiting for you progress.
angry_ookami your details and linework are awesome.you have some extreme firepower going on.
Kirilotyou too have some extreme firepower. You have the missile pods though which I think gives you the advantage on angry-o-kami lol.

[nihilicon]

Hi everyone, I havent been around here for a long while. Thought I'd pull together a late entry for this one to try to get me working again, I've never tried doing hardware before so this is all new to me:

Heres the thumb I'm using:
31715

And heres a little bit of modelling I've been doing to get the perspective and stuff right on the wheel, not sure whether I'll go with an eliptical wheel or circular, maybe eliptical looks more tank like? The idea with this tank is that the wheel is huge and made from solid armour so its about as indestructable as the body, maybe more so. This means that the tracks are no longer a weak point. Both halves of the wheel can move in opposition to each other to turn the tank where it stands and it just rolls over towns and defences, the wheel has a certain amount of spring built in also to allow the tank to withstand drops from a reasonable height.

31718
31719
31720

A very quick render.

Some really nice painting and designs so far.

[Samhell]

Awesome mini! I totally forgot this competition, remembered it, then forgot it again and then finally managed to paint something during the last day before the deadline. Good times! ^___^

Hope everybody's been well, I see a lot crazy designs on this thread. Can't wait to see the finished pieces from you all.

Here's mine, due to the absentmindedness of me myself and I, it is a quite speedyish. Had a ton of fun while painting it though. :-)


Take care and good luck!

Hello again. There are so many things happened after my last visit!
Samhell - Well, I am happy to see you in the ranks of our juggernaut army. You still can complete your art, even if it will be submited after deadline.Your piece looks very promising, but for me - it is too small details on your juggernaut. Add some - and it will be much better.
nihilicon - Very interesting design. This great track will give him great protection, but if your cannon recoils, the tank can fall on one's back. So you can to add some supportive beams.
Melrick - Good work, man. Looking forward to see you in the next competition.
Wikz - Very good. Your artwork have much more to say than my. Keep working over details and I would also add some scared people on the foreground.
angry_ookami - It is just beautiful. Well done. Good luck!
Arokai - One more great devastator. Looks very interesting. I would add some motion around it. People or war scene. Looking forward to see more.
Slava Gedich - Good finish, comrad. Good luck
kirilot - Man, it looks amazing, but I would add some more order to the chaos on the side planes, may be some cannons. Now it looks so empty and I am just wonder - what will you put there. Waiting for your progress.
rawwad - Amazing work. Good luck.
crrrutch - Great job, dude. Good luck.
Mitch-king - It looks fantastic, man. Those hand on foreground. Love your style. Good luck!
labais - It looks very dangerous. Waiting for your update.
YamSoup - Good begining. Keep going. Hope, I will see your final.
Diissar - Very solid piece. Love your color. Looking forward to see more.
D3struct-o-Bot - Beautiful design. Looks very interesting. May be some more guns? Sorry, That is my weakness. When I see some free space on the tank, I want to add a gun. So, in the end I can often, if I am not restricting myself, to have one big Hedgehog with an enormous guns. But your piece looks good even without it, they will just add some danger feeling to his shape.
W1r3d - Your Juggernaut looks very dangerous. Looking forward to see your colors.

And here is my final. I am added some more details and colors. Hope you will like it. Thank to all, who followed my progress, and good luck everybody!

@ACap: Nice image, I like the gothic-ness of it. Thank you for the feedback, I understand your thinking on the recoil but in my imagined world the fire ray thing would have no recoil, but also there are stabilisers at the rear of the body.
@Samhell - I really like the design of your tank, it fulfills the brief really well and looks like its got a shit load of bad ass surprises stored inside ;-) dont think the guy with the launcher has much chance.
@Melrick - Shame you've quit bud it was going well. Hope you had fun anyway.
@Wikz: Like you're thinking on this, really different. I'd a like to have seen him more up close though. Good luck.
@angry_ookami: Great design, are you sure its got enough guns though? ;-)
Slava Gedich: Lovely paint. Maybe looks a little too small for the brief but nice render anyway. Good luck.

@Arokai: Dig in bro! plenty hours left and remember the deadline is soft. Good luck.
@rawwad: I keep looking at this again and again, beautiful image, well done.
@kirilot: Love the texture and the howitzer feel to it. Good luck on finishing.
@Sinok426: Your imagination puts us all to shame. This is beautiful and different and i really like it, its tank enough.
@D3struct-o-Bot: Cant wait to see the paint. More updates please.
@Diissar: Lovely paint there and nice design.
@labais: Your painting is really beautiful, love the looseness so far, i love both your ideas any one could be a winner. can you give us an update soon.
